This week Dr. Jack and Mary highlight an all too common phenomenon in supplements: synthetic anti-oxidants. We’ve all been hearing about the “healing power” of anti-oxidants since the 1980’s. It's bunk. What continues to be left out is that oxidative processes are not only a natural part of cell life-cycle, but could be the all-essential mechanism for maintaining healthy cells in the first place.
In other words, apoptosis, or cell death should not be prevented; especially not by ham-fisted attempts to artificially suppress the natural cell life-cycle with synthetic antioxidants.
Tune in to learn of an entire class of supplements to avoid, and one in particular that you should stop taking immediately in order to avoid an early death.
